The third task is to raise someone and bring them to independence. The direct reading is children: not merely to give birth, but to see them through to a profession and to the ability to live by their own means.

Pupils and wards count as the same thing: someone the person took on to teach and brought up to a level. How a child came into the family — born, adopted, arrived with a second marriage — does not change the task.

The second channel is production. The three is responsible for making: not "bought it and resold it" but "took it and made it". Hence the professions that involve a manufacturing cycle, and the management of such processes.

What both readings have in common: something must come into being that would not exist without this person, and it must grow until it stands on its own.

Social task — purpose and profession

Social task = DT + MT + GT

The social task is what, in this system, a person came for. Not a post and not a profession in itself, but the direction in which their effort has meaning.

What matters here is the movement itself. As long as a person is moving towards their task, they are collected and engaged; a halt is felt as the loss of a footing, even when everything looks well from the outside.

The system notes two dead ends. The first — when a person has gone so far from the task that the earlier plan has stopped working and life effectively begins again, often in an entirely different field. The second — when the goal has been reached and the person decides there is nowhere further to go; by this logic what was achieved was a step, not a summit.

DT, MT and GT are steps towards that same task, and there is no need to pass through them in order: one can concentrate on the task directly. The task is most easily carried out through a profession — but it does not reduce to one.

The system connects a person's physical well-being to this as well: it holds that movement towards one's own task sustains a person, while a long departure from it tells on their health over time.

*This is a tenet of the teaching, not a medical claim. The causes of ill health are established by a doctor, and the calculation does not suggest putting off seeing one.*
